These guys are dumb, who spends $500K to buy a domain name, they could have bought colorapp.com for a fraction of what they paid for color.com, Burn VC money I guess. I guess when they go bankrupt their domains will have some value.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4da1d652ccd1d55f4c000000JordanSun, 10 Apr 2011 12:09:54 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4da1d652ccd1d55f4c000000
I can already picture all the future MBA case studies about this company and its 41 Million dollar bonfire. It'll be right up there with webvan.com.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d9b3be149e2aed5010e0000itsmenTue, 05 Apr 2011 11:57:21 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d9b3be149e2aed5010e0000
Interesting, six out of 32 comments on this thread talked about $41M.., and nothing about the app. I think some of you are just being jealous. Come on people..., creativity and innovation is what America is all about. At least some parts of the economy is moving, I only hope it could kick start the rest.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d96b8fc49e2ae8c49150000vizcaraSat, 02 Apr 2011 01:49:48 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d96b8fc49e2ae8c49150000
To the asian Mr bill that "Red flagged" your commentary.. I say sorry GeoffR is right.. You are just pissed he outed your little scam for data mining and reselling it. As well as selling it to the Communist Chinese.

Almost makes you laugh at what asian "ebay sellers" do to self promote and self validate their stats.. Oh I mean Color Ceo... Oops did I say that... LMAOF. When will they learn individuals are not that stupid to see it is a employee or Mr "Billy" Ngyuen himself.. Mr Bill couldnt you come up with a better fake name that than "Ooohhhh nooooo" Mr Bill..

$41m and he cannot get his marketing right!
Looks to me that all his efforts have been about creating a pitch to the investors, and he confuses that pitch with what the consumer might value.
Looks like interesting technology, but as a 1st product he's made some major mis-steps that could really hurt his company. I have seen this sort of techo-arrogance before. At the end of the day, the average consumer does not care 1 cent about your technology. Looks like they may have a leadership problem too. Think I'll go see who invested in them because whoever they are they failed to provide good support and guidance before color went to market.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8facf4ccd1d5ea2f3c0000alan wilenskySun, 27 Mar 2011 17:32:36 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8facf4ccd1d5ea2f3c0000
I guess that they will exploit all this positive and negative buzz and harvest all the data they can get, give back nothing to their mostly uninformed users, who have no idea what is happening in the Apss background processes, and then, as the founder said, "they will monetize it" by selling the data for contextual purposes. The mobile app user to these executives are just "crops" for harvesting. that's why the lack of information and context on how to use the app etc.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8f3ececcd1d5a221170000ugohSun, 27 Mar 2011 09:42:38 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8f3ececcd1d5a221170000
I think you have a good point here. Somehow, this startup will be disillusioned by the usefulness of their idea and their objectives because of raising so much money($40m) so quickly. And yes, there'll be so much pressure for success here because of this money. Well, hope they'll see the light clearly to be successful in the long run.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8f3a82ccd1d55621060000ugohSun, 27 Mar 2011 09:24:18 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8f3a82ccd1d55621060000

So, you are next to a guy/gal and you receive a photo feed ("it's not a photo sharing app")? How about just saying hi like we used to before social networking (!)?
"We are not a photo sharing app company - it's about data-mining". Wonder who'll be interested in all that 'anonymous' data...Mobile apps have access to your phone number...it's usually a lot more than your last name.
And this whole thing smells like a 'viral campaign' that's not driven by a youtube video....people are already talking.........................http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8e4b35cadcbbf4511e0000DannySat, 26 Mar 2011 16:23:17 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8e4b35cadcbbf4511e0000
Indeed.
Stalkers, thieves, spies, detectives, you name it,... they are going to love this app.
They can anonymously 'follow' their targets... or explore a home without even have to go in..
They can even see when you are away from home, thanks to your photo trail updated in real time.
I may not want ex-partners to go on looking into my life. How can I block them from seeing my color timeline, other than by stop using this app?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8e0fb2ccd1d5e83c110000ghundaSat, 26 Mar 2011 12:09:22 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8e0fb2ccd1d5e83c110000

Henry - The founder is a famous flipper not a company builder. He sold onebox at the height of the dotcom bubble and lala to Apple which was eventually shut down. He has yet to build a real business and relies on hype not real revenue. If the hype goes the right way for him on this one, he will make some money - plain and simple.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8db1f0cadcbbef3d690000ivoiceSat, 26 Mar 2011 05:29:20 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8db1f0cadcbbef3d690000
Everyone saying;- why will they wanna share photos with strangers around them..... duh! That's why people visit facebook everyday, to see photos of strangers (friends' of friends).

Think of Color more like a "Personal Digital Channel" for every phone owner. With Color every connected camera device becomes a live transmitter - and Color offers the social utility services: storage, connections and analytics.

It's a brilliant concept, and clearly does amazing things - but I wonder if the timing isn't a little off. It seems early in the game so it makes me wonder if it will succeed.
The data geek in me loves the idea. The actual normal person in me is up in arms over the lack of privacy settings. While I might be okay with Color data mining, I'm pretty much not liking the potential abuses of this app. Yeah neat about Jimmy Fallon. Not so neat about the potential the all creepy stalker dude has to do is be within a certain radius to view all of the pictures going on say, in a bar, that are being posted by and of his target. And I give it about 5 seconds at a concert before the graphic anatomical shots start flowing into the stream. Or will Color be filtering out the porn?
This works if your users are all slightly exhibitionist, but those of us unwilling to share any and everything with the nearest strangers, staplers and psychos won't be firing it up much.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8d3400ccd1d5881f1d0000Brian CFri, 25 Mar 2011 20:32:00 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8d3400ccd1d5881f1d0000

Not a fan of the sports stadium use case that they keep repeating. These guys have courtside seats so it's not relevant to them, but have you ever tried taking photos of the on-field/court action from the stand using a smartphone cam? You're only going to see what's going in a 30 foot radius from where you're sitting. The court/field will just look like a green or yellow rectangle with dots on it. If lucky you *may* get a photo of the guy with the t-shirt gun if he goes into your section.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8d31694bd7c8732b5d0000Anthony AaronFri, 25 Mar 2011 20:20:57 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8d31694bd7c8732b5d0000

If they had maybe introduced a news gathering app - "Newsie" - and it was clear that you only launch it when your seeing something newsworthy or at an event and it's social around that it would make some sense but not with family/friends or general pics. Then the location gathering and massive data collection might be relevant and less invasive.
In all the places I've been today, there hasn't been one where I'd even consider firing up this app.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8d218449e2aeff676c0000PXLatedFri, 25 Mar 2011 19:13:08 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8d218449e2aeff676c0000

"Color is not about photo sharing. It’s a new way to build spontaneous social networks — and collect massive amounts of data about what people are doing and where they’re doing it — without collecting any personally identifiable information like last names, addresses, or even passwords."
So it’s a data mining trojan horse. Well, that changes everything. Who wouldn’t love that? And it’s a good thing personal photos have no “personally identifiable information” — you know, other than images of you, your friends, and your family.

I think the Color idea is worth the cash and is a game changer in 3 respects:
1 - It is the ultimate low-context social environment (the founders call it an implicit relationship environment). Unlike the traditional follow or befreind connection, Color fully automates the role of managing connections - humans are relieved of this role. This design is required for optimal social capital and content relevance (discovery, sorting, audience delivery and lifecycle management)
2 - Color is the holy grail of search personalization. Think of it this way - it lets you "pre-like" by contributing content (in this case a photo), and through this learns you in an unmistakable way - more like a push search engine which grows your knowledge based on your little pre-knowledge
3 - Because Color owns the content posted on its platform, it can sell it. Better still, it can do so by location. Expect Color to soon grow from static photos to video - thereby cannibalizing the on-demand and video information. It is what CNN iReport would have wished to become. Imagine 1,000 static and video mobile cameras streaming live from from Cairo or Sendai into Color servers - and each being connected and availed in real time to give a Matrix-style view. What would that be worth?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8cd138cadcbb6119a00000BonnieFri, 25 Mar 2011 13:30:32 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8cd138cadcbb6119a00000
Maybe it's because I'm in the creative, cultural, and entertainment, sector with a NY Urban Marketing group that we can see this potential! Opening a camera is easy and natural! Yes they need to give better directions... but show me an app/or social media site especially Facebook that does not!
So much is undocumented or missed! I am fascinated by the cultural impact of the augmented reality layer for future generations! If you've ever walked into a landmark and wondered what it was like during it's glory days our grandchildren may get a chance to experience that! What is that type of technology worth!
For many small businesses Twitter etc does NOT cut it! I know it's surprising, to many whose business is on the web, but they have not penetrated certain communities! We see low adoption and adaptation many do not have time or are afraid to write! This is intuitive- So yes there is room for this! Finally a service where you are either authentic or you'll have to put some effort into fabricating your "stories", and saying nothing could be a work of art!
But immediately I see privacy concerns so much so I'll be willing to upgrade to keep my event or images PRIVATE !
The business use as a tool ,, yes; as for advertising... can I opt in to that channel... and maybe it needs channels! I guess It's the default aspect i take issue with! Just thinking out loud... BTW forget the hype Data mining is not a Four letter word!
I wish i could get sound data on our communitieshttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8cc6514bd7c8e01d5b0000Surf ZombieFri, 25 Mar 2011 12:44:01 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8cc6514bd7c8e01d5b0000

HONEST.
Great idea, but here's a better one: Make sure it can be downloaded on the platform you say it's available on.

Interesting interview.
I'm beginning to wonder if the Color photo app is really just a proof of concept built upon a larger API service that is all about gathering any and all sort of location-specific information. Photos, news events, anything. Basically they want to own location-specific data, apply some ranking algorithm to it and become a platform for everyone else. The Google for location data perhaps?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8cc1db4bd7c8a21d330000A.J.

I don't have a problem with the App itself, or the technology. I have a problem with the fact that he thinks he needs to raise 40 million to start up the company. None of the big internet companies have started out this way. You can't predict a successful social media platform before it even launches because of the chicken and egg problem. Social media apps are useless without a bunch of users, and a bunch of users won't start using a platform until its useful.
Social media type platforms have to start small and completely dominate a certain market segment or geography. After one segment is dominated, move to the next and grow organically. Sort of like what facebook did by dominating the Harvard segment, then Ivy League segment, then all colleges, then high schools, then the whole US, and finally the world. Besides the first few users at Harvard, each person that joined already knew a bunch of people using the platform.
Color is trying to make a huge global launch all at once. Even if they get 10 million people using the app around the world, it won't be enough. It would be better if they got 1 million people using the app, but all in New York. The app will seem like entering a social media desert.
Because they raised so much money, there's going to be all kinds of pressure from the board to be successful...and quick. They're trying to jump the social media step of slow organic growth, and its not going to work. I just wish that 40 million could have been allocated to 80 entrepreneurs with realistic business plans.

So the guy says "its a trap." Its a scam to get you to download their app so they can data mine you and everyone around you. Great going.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8c82054bd7c85115130000DannyFri, 25 Mar 2011 07:52:37 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8c82054bd7c85115130000
Why would I want to see more pictures about the place where I am right now?
I would rather look around than watch more pictures on a tiny 2D screen.
And no name or password is needed or collected by this 'service',..
But somehow miraculously the restaurant owner will immediately see my name and previous visits when I enter the restaurant. HUH???
That will take more than a bit explanation to me.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8c771a4bd7c8f213300000JoshFri, 25 Mar 2011 07:06:02 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8c771a4bd7c8f213300000

I admire what they are trying to do but its just not cutting it for me. I under its openness to meet new people in the moment but openness with a random person on the street without permission or a purpose is just awkward.
It's like me walking up to a girl and saying I have been watching you all this week and I know what type of coffee you like. You see what I mean?
Also I don't see me sharing my personal photos that include my friends and family at a party to random strangers/neighbors because they can either choose to judge me for something I choose to do in those photos or can feel left out because I didn't invite them.
With this being so open if I have this at work and my boss has Color to can he see all the stuff I have been doing in my life since he is less than 150 feet from me?
I'm going to hold off on any more judgement until I have had more time to test this thing out with some more friends. I believe there is great potential here for something but not quite yet. Some feedback from users needs to be input ASAP while you still have this attention.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8c6b0c4bd7c873116a0000Tho ToFri, 25 Mar 2011 06:14:36 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8c6b0c4bd7c873116a0000
Let's face it, if you look at all of the current successful companies, NONE of their names describes their products right off the bat. If you walked up to someone who's been living underneath a rock and told them Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, or Apple, do you think they would have a friggin clue what type of products or services those companies offered? It's not about the name.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8c65a1cadcbb980a8c0000Robert AndrewsFri, 25 Mar 2011 05:51:29 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8c65a1cadcbb980a8c0000
Let's be honest, it's a good idea and a crap name.
Who's going to "color" some photos? Eh?
But is indexing people-uploaded photos by geography a good idea? Yes, of course.
Problem is, Facebook or Twitter or Foursquare or whomever could do this themselves. And, if Color becomes popular enough in its own right, those are probably the only guys they could exit to. What kind of exit valuation will investors require from a $41m first round?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8c6128cadcbb980a580000Cabaret VoltaireFri, 25 Mar 2011 05:32:24 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d8c6128cadcbb980a580000
